T.v.

I have watched the first two episodes of Anne on ITV. It's about Anne Williams who wouldn't accept the Coroner's verdict after her 14 year old son died at Hillsborough. It's powerful and the cast is headed by the excellent Maxine Peake.

Finally getting into Gomorrah (the tv series, although the films really good to!)

Tony I have a mate who was a 30 year serving police officer (Lancs) who was a spectator at Hillsborough (LFC fan). 
He still can’t talk about what he witnessed that day and has not attended a professional football match since then, apart from when on duty. 
It could have been any of us in the Leppings Lane end that day and the portrayal of Anne Williams by Maxine Peake is a nailed on BAFTA award.

Finished Dopesick last night, quality drama and only 8 episodes long.Great performance by Michael Keaton 

Looking forward to the return of Snowfall in February

Really enjoying Archive 81 on netflix for anybody looking for something a bit different! 

Kinda early Polanski with a bit of Lynch and a touch of Kubrick vibe (3 of my fave directors)

Looking forward to the return of Snowfall too! I’ve started the new season of Ozark just now, glad it’s coming to a close this season though, we don’t want it to be over done!

I cant watch anything like this anymore, just too depressing and i feel the shows are usually just covering old ground, it's a shame that even after all this time the wounds still seem so fresh for those that where directly involved and they can't move on from it 😞

They simply wanted justice and it's a huge credit to them that they persevered despite the Government, South Yorkshire Police,  West Midlands Police and the S** lying. And their perseverance paid off as they exposed the lies.

I have huge admiration for them all.

Ozark - like many shows these days I find it hard to 'like' many characters. Not a spoiler as I do not know how things develop but I do hope Wendy gets splattered ala Helen. Darlene too.

Shetland however has good characters. Just finished a full binge.

A sad sad day

[speeeeeeedie]

I started Hip-Hop Evolution on Netflix the other night. It's a documentary/reportage on the history of hip hop from its beginnings to the present day. I'm only on episode 3 but it's superb so far. @K-Hod, definitely one for you.

I’ve seen it mate, it was such a buzz! 
It was a really comprehensive and well done show I thought! Lots of stuff I knew already, but some new knowledge for me too! 
There’s one called ‘the get down’ which is a drama, but about the birth of hip hop on Netflix too. I can definitely recommend that one! As well as ‘unsolved’ which is about the murders of 2Pac and Biggie.

Another drama, but very well done indeed!

With the news that a 3rd series is being filmed, me and Mrs E have just rewatched Happy Valley S1+2.

Fantastic police drama, fabulously written by Sally Wainwright, northern humour, and I have a slight crush on Sarah Lancashire.

Dave Chappelle. Absolutely class, in the vein of Chris Rock. I’d recommend Chappelle’s Show first like. All on Netflix too!

In the news for all the wrong reasons again . Stuart lee has a fun take on him in his latest stand up

Yep saw Stewart lee live very recently, his long bit with his impression of Chappelle in his dressing room before a show wooing a woman with the rotisserie chickens was brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And his general take on the current American stand up comedians was pretty spot on 😂

 

Normally find David Chappelles stand up specials pretty brilliant tbh, but personally i think the main reason his latest show revieved so much controversy was becausr it simply wasn't very funny!! And just came across pretty desperate to me how he spent most the show trying to justify his opinions. And him using the argument that he can't be prejudice against the lgbt community because he had a trans friend seemed pretty lame to me (it's like someone saying they can't be racist because they have a black friend🙄)
